Fantastic Four: A Cautionary Tale for Film Students to Learn Your Craft or You’ll Drop a Turd Like This [Review]

by Mark Miller | Aug 10, 2015

Despite some very solid advice — this week I went to see Fantastic Four. And I got what I deserved. Fair warning, unlike my other reviews, I’m going to spoil this one as much as I can because I’d rather you lose interest than have to sit through it....
